A shank ham comes from the lower leg portion of the pig, typically resulting in a cut that is more tender and has a higher fat content, often smoked or cured for flavor. In contrast, a picnic shoulder is cut from the front leg of the pig, generally containing more connective tissue and muscle, making it ideal for slow cooking methods. While both cuts can be used in similar ways, the shank ham is usually more suitable for baking or glazing, while the picnic shoulder is often used for pulled pork or braising.
To reduce excess salt in a picnic ham, you can soak it in water for several hours or overnight to help leach out some of the salt. Alternatively, you can boil the ham in water for about 30 minutes, which will also reduce the saltiness. After soaking or boiling, make sure to rinse the ham thoroughly before cooking it to eliminate any residual salt. Additionally, pairing the ham with unsalted side dishes can help balance the overall saltiness of the meal.
Yes, you can boil a smoked picnic ham. Boiling helps to heat it through and can enhance its flavor. To do this, place the ham in a pot with enough water to cover it, add seasonings if desired, and simmer for about 20 minutes per pound until it reaches the appropriate internal temperature. Be sure to let it rest before slicing for optimal flavor and tenderness.
Canadian bacon isn't ham. Canada Bacon is pretty much just regular bacon.

The collective noun for ham is typically "a slice of ham" or "a leg of ham," referring to the cut of meat. However, there isn't a widely recognized specific collective noun for ham like there is for some other animals or groups. In casual contexts, you might simply refer to "hams" when speaking of multiple pieces.
Ham is always pork. Most hams come from the back leg of pig. A picnic ham comes from the pig shoulder.
how long do you have to cook a Carolina pride picnic ham
Ready to cook means that the ham has already been partially cooked, but still needs to cook before eating. If a ham shank is "Ready to Eat" this means that the ham is fully cooked and can be eaten right out of the package.
Yes
I just cooked a cooks shank ham last night and it was gross. It's just about all fat with lots of tendon layers. Ive heard that the butt is fatty too. I will never make a shank again. Use spiral ham or a whole boneless ham for casseroles. If you cook the whole boneless ham for about 3 hours at 325, it will give your casseroles a better flavor and it wont be as chewy.
Absolutely, wrap it in aluminum foil and bake at 250 degrees for 8-10 hours. It will come out very delicious, juicy & tender!
i do not know i am trying to find out if you can use butt ham for a boiled dinner
To cook a ham shank, you typically need enough water to cover the meat. Generally, this means adding about 4 to 6 cups of water, depending on the size of the shank and the pot. The water should be at least an inch above the shank to ensure even cooking. Adjust as necessary based on the specific recipe and your pot size.

The picnic ham is not really a true ham (ham comes from the pig's back leg), the picnic ham is taken from the upper part of the foreleg and includes a portion of the shoulder. This cut is also more accurately referred to as the picnic shoulder or pork shoulder. The picnic ham is smoked, and has a very hamlike flavor. The bone is often removed. Though it's slightly tougher and requires longer cooking and has more waste because of the bone structure. A picnic ham is a good, inexpensive substitute for regular ham.
